After I learned this easy email trick, the clutter vanished from my inbox

Is your inbox overflowing with ads, newsletters, and social media updates? You don't need complex rules or multiple accounts to get things under control. Just the magic of one feature that's built into most email solutions

For years, I used rules and filters based on the sender's address to move less important messages out of the inbox and into custom folders. What I found instead is a simple way to automatically move those less important messages out of my inbox and into a separate folder where I can check them when I have the time and desire to do so. You can set up similar aliases with matching subfolders for anything you want: recipes, sports headlines, social media alerts, even correspondence from groups you're a member of.
